The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has always been a subject of debate, especially in the matter of racism. However, this book isn't racist. One tends to forget that the date in which this took place and the date this novel was written in was a period where the ‘n’ word was used frequently. The book has to be accurate with the time period thus there were racist characters, yet there’s still white characters who cared about slaves, most notably Huck. If Huck ever does come off as racist it's merely because of the influences society was imposing on him, he honestly didn’t know any better.

hey stepfany! i liked your intro, i think that your very to the point and that you use a good use of words to describe what you're trying to state. i like the argument that your trying to make everyone catch onto also
I agree with what you have to say. Good start. Maybe instead of saying that Huck doesn't know any better (which is true), you could explain more about the societal influences
This is a good start. Definitely talk more about the time the novel was written, and what society was like at that time, to give the reader clarification.
oops. What I meant was, maybe explain what "reagional realism" is, so you can refer back to it to support your argument. That would be good!
